Takeaways: A closer inspection of civilian killings
by region within Darfur via the ACLED dataset shows that as UN bases
were being withdrawn between 2017 and 2021, the proportion of
all such killings was shrinking in Central Darfur, but growing in South
Darfur in 2018 and 2020, and in West Darfur in 2019 and 2021. By the end
of 2020 51% of civilian killings were concentrated in South Darfur, and
by the end of 2021 48% of civilian killings were concentrated in West
Darfur.
